Hermione's pov:
"Ah! finally we have reached. The Hogwarts Express will be here within ten minutes", I told Ginny.
"Alright then. Come, let's find Harry and Ron", Ginny told.
"Ginny! Mione!", someone shouted our names from the back. I turned to see who it was."Oh! Harry, Ron, so it's you", I told giving him a friendly hug.
"How are you Mione?", Harry asked me while wrapping an arm around Ginny's waist. Harry and Ginny have been dating for a while now. I had always known that there was something between Harry and Gin, and everything became clear last Easter holidays when Harry asked Ginny out."I'm fine Harry, how are you?", I asked him.
"Oh! Never better. My holidays were awesome and I am very excited to go back to school", he answered in a sing - song voice. I smiled. It's then, that I noticed Ron, who was standing quietly beside Harry. He noticed me staring at him."Hi!", he said feebly. "Hey Ron!", I said quite awkwardly. Things had really become awkward between me and Ron since the beginning of the holidays. We both felt that we were more like brother and sister, than something more than friends. I was broken from my cloud of thoughts by a loud whistling noise. It was the Hogwarts Express. I looked around me - Harry was speaking to Ginny, and Ron was waving towards a girl whom I recognized as Lavender.
"Come on guys, let's go.The train's here.", I told my friends.
"Oh right, come on friends, Hogwarts is waiting for us", Harry said happily. I could tell that he was very excited. Why, I myself was so excited to return to Hogwarts.....

Draco's pov:
"Draco, we are here.", I heard my mother telling me. "Oh right, Bye mom! Take care and don't worry about me, I will be alright", I said kissing her cheek gently while taking her hands into mine."Sure honey! You too take care. Come on now, I think your friends are waiting for you over there", she told me. I smiled,"Bye mom! I love you", I told her.
"I love you too, and Draco, one more thing - try to make some new friends. You are grown up now.", she said winking at me. Did she just wink at me? But before I could ask her anything I heard a pop and then she was gone. Seriously, she can apparate faster than one can say -"honeydukes". But what did she mean by - "try and make some new friends"? I have no idea.....
"Hey Draco, what are you doing standing there all alone and making yourself look like an idiot?", someone shouted from back. I turned to see who it was. It was Theo. "Oh, just shut up", I told him as I walked over to him."Whoa! Cool mate, it was just a joke", he told.
"Hey guys, wassup?",Blaise said as he walked over to us, along with Pansy and Astoria."Hi", I and Theo answered in unison."Drakey, how are you?", Pansy asked me as she flung herself towards me. I moved away slightly, and she fell. Everyone burst out laughing. I chuckled under my breath. "That was not funny", she said emphasizing each word, as she got up and dusted her clothes.

"Oh of course,it was funny. In fact, it was hilarious. And by the way, I am absolutely fine", I said glaring at her.
"Uhm, alright guys, I guess we better get going now, the train's already here", Blaise said as he cleared his throat.
"Excuse me guys, according to me you know, we must stay together, because the number of glares that we are receiving is bothering me like hell. Seriously bro, if looks could kill, I think we would all have died long back", Astoria said in her jolly - jumpy voice. I looked around me and bloody hell! I could see so many people glaring at us, and most of them were whispering,god knows what! Death eaters are bad which includes my father, who is the worst person in this earth. But I was forced to become a death eater. I am not bad at heart and I know that even if the others can't see it.
"I think you are right Astoria. Anyways, let's go now", I said. We all started walking towards the train, completely aware of the people's stares.
This is surely going to be one hell of a year!!!
